Click the download icon at the top right side to download the file revision that is open in the viewer. Use the down arrow next to the download icon to get additional options while downloading the file revision.

For downloading a file, you need the 'Can Download Documents' privilege on the project where the file is stored and a folder permission of 'View and Download' or above permission on the folder containing the file to download.

The 'Download Preferences' popup contains:

Documents

Parent Document - To include selected documents for download.

Include Secondary File(s) - To include secondary files for download, if any.

Include XREF - To download single or multiple files including external references, if any.

Discussions & Markups

Include Markups - To include any markups created on the selected file along with its download.

Note: In case the project configuration was changed from Thin Client Viewer (now discontinued) to Universal Web Viewer, required information related to markups (if applicable) will appear in the below sequence:

1. Consolidated view of all public markups created in Thin Client Viewer (includes all file pages).

2. Only private markups on files that have been released as public markups after switching the viewer from the Thin Client Viewer to the Universal Web Viewer (This includes only those file pages with private markups that have been released as public).

3. Consolidated view of all file markups created in Universal Web Viewer (includes both public and private markups on all file pages).
